About QBE

At QBE, we get to the heart of what matters for our customers. And we do it all with a human touch.

We’re an international insurer with more than 13,000 people working across 26 countries – which means we’re big enough for your ambitions, yet small enough for you to make a real impact. It’s an exciting time. We’re building momentum towards our vision to become the most consistent and innovative risk partner.

As part of the QBE team, you’ll get to spend every day working with people who are passionate, talented and kind.

Your new role

In this role, you’ll support reserving, reporting, and portfolio monitoring, turning data into clear insights that inform decisions across the business. You’ll partner closely with Actuarial Managers and Senior Analysts, contribute to portfolio performance and profitability, and help improve tools and processes over time.

Key responsibilities include:

• Support the end-to-end quarterly reserving process for Liability products, including statutory reporting.
• Deliver ad hoc analysis and build sustainable monitoring tools that provide actionable portfolio insights.
• Identify improvement opportunities and uplift reserving tools/platforms to improve efficiency and the quality of insights.
• Support the development of junior analysts from the wider team through guidance and knowledge sharing.
• Partner with stakeholders across underwriting, claims, finance and the wider business to deliver reporting and analysis that supports reserving and profitability monitoring.

About you

• Curious and open-minded, with a positive approach to change.
• Tertiary qualification in a relevant field (e.g., actuarial studies, mathematics, statistics, or a related discipline).
• Progress toward Actuaries Institute accreditation (e.g., Part II completion and/or working toward Part III).
• Reserving experience in General Insurance (highly desirable).
• Strong analytical skills, with Excel required and SAS/R experience beneficial.
• Confident communicator who can explain analysis and recommendations to a range of stakeholders.

Benefits

We offer a range of benefits to help provide holistic support for your work life, whatever your circumstances. As a QBE employee you will have access to and benefit from:

• ‘Hybrid Working’ – a mix of working from home and in the office to enhance your work/life balance.
• Free holistic wellbeing coaching, nutritional, confidential counselling, financial and legal advice.
• 18 weeks’ gender-equal flexible leave for all new parents, including paid super.
